The picture turned from bright to dark, and Luna fell onto the tiled roof like a broken kite, with wounds and bleeding all over her body.
Only then did Ren Suo see who attacked Luna: a fairy dressed in white, walking barefoot, with skin as white as snow and black hair tied up with jade hairpins. The fairy took a look at the severely injured Luna, and instead of finishing off the opponent, she floated towards the silver-white light column.
Ren Suo wanted to control Luna to stand up or heal himself, but the game popped up a prompt: "Luna has fallen into a dream death state."
"In the dream death state, the Moon God Apostle cannot perform any actions, and as time goes by, all traces of the Moon God Apostle will gradually become invisible until they disappear completely. After a full moon, they will fall into the true death state."
"In the dream death state, if the Moon God Apostle receives a fatal blow again, he will die."
"When in a dream death state, the Moon God Apostle can be reborn with the power of the thoughts of the person in the dream."
"Luna's current sources of longing: 2, overall level of longing: negligible, estimated time of rebirth: seven full moons later."
Ren Suo controlled it for a while and confirmed that Luna really couldn't use "Rescue the Dead and Heal the Wounded" to heal herself, so she carefully examined this dream death state.
The subject of the introduction to the dream death state is 'Moon God Apostles', which means that after the 28 Moon God Apostles suffer a fatal blow, they will fall into a dream death state, that is, they look dead, but in fact they cannot be saved, but after the corpse cools down, they may be able to come back to life.
In the dream death state, if someone in the dream misses the Moon Apostle strongly, then the Moon Apostle will be able to be reborn soon - of course, the degree of missing must reach a certain level. For a passerby like Luna who is now a "dispensable" person, the corpse must be exposed for seven days to meet the rebirth time requirement, but by that time Luna would have been dead without leaving any trace.
The two sources of Luna's longing should be the doctor and the nurse. I didn't expect that the friendly NPCs in this game are so important and can also speed up the rebirth speed.
Of course, this setting is meaningless to Ren Suo. He can reload the game, so he must let Luna finish the game with one life. Would he kneel down to reality and let the beautiful Luna lie on the ground, unable to resist and be played with by others...
It’s exciting to think about, but I can’t go in and pick up the bodies.
However, this setting once again points out the importance of the opposite-sex companions of the Moon God Apostles - it is conceivable that each apostle's companion will miss the apostle strongly, so after each apostle falls into a dream death state, it is likely that he will be resurrected soon.
Therefore, Ren Suo's future gameplay strategy will have to change accordingly: either defeat the Moon Goddess Apostle and then make the final move, or kill the Moon Goddess Apostle's companions as well, otherwise the Moon Goddess Apostle will definitely be resurrected again.
Of course, Ren Suo guessed that this game might have achievements like 'Kill all Moon God Apostles' and 'Don't kill any Moon God Apostles'. If you want to achieve the latter, it would be very simple - just don't kill any Moon God Apostles.
Ren Suo read the save file "Luna: The First Crescent Moon". At this time, Luna had just left the clinic. Ren Suo chose another route to let Luna avoid the fairy in white.
The fairy is very strong, and her long-range moonlight spell can actually kill Luna instantly, but this game is not a monster-killing game, so there is no need to fight her.
Fighting is just for victory, just like the fighting in moba games is also for pushing down towers. Now it is a wise choice to let Luna grab the second Silver Moon Crystal first.
A minute later, Luna came to a place that looked like a city park. There was a silver-white light column inside, and the sound and light of supernatural magic fighting could be seen from afar. However, teams of red-armored warriors were stationed at various places along the main roads of the park, with their swords pointed at any enemy who tried to rush into the park.
As Luna rushed over, a red-armored warrior shouted, "League of Legends! Tourists, stop!"
What responded to him was an irresistible glacier of Sechuan!
"Return of the Devil" + "Ice Age"!
The sharp ice spikes crashed into the main road of the park along the glacier. The warriors who were unable to dodge were instantly pierced by the ice spikes and then frozen by the glacier, their deaths like amber.
Suddenly, a speech bubble appeared above a warrior's head: "You don't have any strange disease at all..."
Ren Suo was slightly startled, and after a closer look, he felt that this warrior might be one of the two warriors who had searched the clinic not long ago - he couldn't remember the face of a passerby.
At the same time, a prompt popped up in the upper left corner of the screen: "The 'Patient with Mysterious Disease' has been discovered by the dream."
Ren Suo opened Luna's personal profile and found that the character label "Patient with a Mysterious Disease" had completely turned gray, indicating that he could no longer gain experience points from dreams by playing the role of a patient with a mysterious disease.
'After the natives of the dreamland see through the disguise of the Moon God Apostle, the Moon God Apostle can no longer level up by playing this role...' Ren Suo thought to himself: 'In other words, if you do something that is seen through before you have completely succeeded in playing the role, you will directly lose the character label. If you want to level up by playing the role, you must honestly act according to the label...'
The frozen warriors became blurred one by one, and finally disappeared completely, leaving no corpses behind. Ren Suo raised his eyebrows. Sure enough, the natives of the Moon Mask were not real people. Perhaps in this dream, the only real humans were the Moon God Apostles and their companions.
Suddenly, a beam of silver-white light that penetrated the sky and the earth flowed inward into the park, and the night sky suddenly darkened.
1000 experience points are gone!
But Luna was killing NPC warriors very quickly, so if she couldn't catch up, there was probably nothing she could do...
There is no other way...
At this moment, Ren Suo had an idea and chose to load the save file.
There are three save files in the save library now, namely the waning gibbous moon, the last quarter moon, and the waning moon. Ren Suo chooses to read the save file of the last quarter moon, and the game jumps to the moment when the nurse has just opened the curtains and Luna is about to shed tears of blood, playing the role of a patient with a strange disease.
After the two warriors left, Ren Suo asked Luna to pay the money and leave immediately without asking any more questions - the information was already known from the last time the game was loaded, so he naturally skipped it this time.
The doctor did not try to persuade her to stay. He said, "I'm glad you're fine. Be careful and don't get caught... I will always be your friend, Luna. If you need to hide or rest, just come to me."
As soon as Luna left the clinic, Ren Suo asked her to run at top speed. According to her memory, she soon arrived at the city park area. At this time, Ren Suo found that warriors were rushing over to block the main road not far away - the silver-white light column had not appeared yet!
Ren Suo had some guesses in his mind, but Luna was obviously faster and quickly reached the place where the light column was about to explode.
There are lush bushes and trees near the target location, which looks like a real park - but there is no sun in this world. Could it be that these plants and trees are all brushed out?
Luna hid in the bushes, quietly waiting for the next instant change in the moon phase.
At this time, a man and a woman came here surrounded by warriors. The woman said, "You don't need to follow me. Guard the other important roads and don't let anyone in. Anyone who dares to come in will be attacked directly. This is the joint order of my sister and I. If there is any mistake and the mission fails, you can't bear the responsibility!"
"yes!"
After the warriors dispersed, the couple walked to the place where the Silver Moon Crystal was scheduled to appear. At this time, Ren Suo could see clearly that the couple should be East Asians, and they should both be Fanying people - the tall man was wearing golden warrior armor, and the short and slender girl was wearing a dark purple cherry blossom yukata, as if they were going to watch the fireworks display.
Ren Suo paused the game and checked the intranet, but didn't find that Fanying had the golden warrior armor. He wondered how that man got such a flashy set of armor.
The girl in the yukata suddenly said, "When the Silver Moon Crystal appears, you will be responsible for taking it, but you have to wait until I tell you to take it."
The man in golden armor asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to take it right away? You are so lucky to get this miracle..."
The girl in the yukata nodded and said, "It is precisely because I am so lucky to get this miracle that I want to make the best use of it. I use my sister's name to drive the warriors of the League of Legends, with the goal of exposing the other apostles of the Moon God, or even kicking them out first."
"So before we attract them here, we should leave the Silver Moon Crystal where it is. When someone engages in battle with the warriors, we can take it away and leave. With one less competitor, our chances of winning will be higher."
"In this competition among Moon Singers, being half a step ahead can create a huge advantage. Fortunately, I have a good sister. Not only did I inherit the real status in Moon Mask, but the Moon God also seemed to favor me. After three hours of adaptation, she gave me such a miracle of being half a step ahead..."
The man in golden armor said, "What a shame. If you could bring your sister in, then the fight with the Moon Singers wouldn't be that difficult."
The girl in the yukata looked a little unhappy: "Even if my sister is not here, I can still succeed... and fortunately I didn't bring her here. The miracles here are too powerful. Even if she is a Shikumo warrior, she may be defeated or even die here."
"That's right. You can't let your sister take such a big risk. She is an indispensable force for the Spirit Hall." The golden-armored warrior agreed.
Ren Suo basically understood that the girl in yukata should be the apostle of the Moon God who was competing for the position of Moon Singer. The miracle she obtained in the waning moon should be something like 'predicting the location where the next Silver Moon Crystal will appear', and her price might be 'not being able to touch the Silver Moon Crystal for a period of time', so only the golden-armored warrior could get it.
Moreover, unlike Luna, who has no household registration, no identity, no relatives, and is even a wanted outsider, the girl in yukata has a very high status in Yueye City and can directly drive the samurai to work for her!
So after she obtained this miracle, she immediately made this plan: first surround the place where the Silver Moon Crystal appeared, lure other Moon God apostles over, even if she couldn't kill them, she could at least expose them.
As for the young lady in yukata who is in a high position, she has many means at her disposal when she knows the identities of other people.
Luna then said to herself, "Although power is simple and direct, it is also not to be underestimated. An identity that can influence other natives is equivalent to having great power. Perhaps I can fall asleep before the full moon and try to get a good identity on the second moon night."
At this point, Ren Suo also vaguely sensed the different ways to play this game:
You can directly use violence to snatch the Silver Moon Crystal, but you will definitely be chased and beaten by other Moon God Apostles, as well as expelled and hunted by NPCs;
You can rely on role-playing to improve your strength, and wait in the dark until the right opportunity comes before taking action;
You can also use the power of the character you play and the power of NPCs to stop other Moon Apostles and create a shortcut to obtain the Silver Moon Crystal.
There is no superiority or inferiority among the three modes of play; it all depends on which one the player prefers, and they can also switch between them midway.
Although the gameplay is diverse and complex, it is simple and clear as long as you just surround the mission target - grab the Silver Moon Crystal!
At this moment, the waning moon suddenly lost a piece and became a waning moon. Invisible moonlight flowed in the Moon Night Market. All the miracles of the Moon God's apostles were renewed. A silver-white beam of light penetrated the sky and the earth. A silver moon crystal that looked like a teardrop was suspended and rotating in the air.
While the girl in the yukata was browsing her new miracle, Ren Suo, who already knew what the new miracle was, immediately asked Luna to jump out and teleport to the Silver Moon Crystal!
But the golden-armored warrior was standing next to the Silver Moon Crystal. He sensed something strange and was about to take the Silver Moon Crystal away!
At this moment, Ren Suo immediately activated a miracle——
"Your miracle is to make all living things within a 10-meter radius unable to move."
"But the price you pay is that you yourself will be unable to act."
The young lady in yukata and the warrior in golden armor stopped immediately. Before they could come to their senses, Ren Suo immediately unleashed the miracle, allowing Luna to grab the Silver Moon Crystal first!
At first glance, this miracle seems meaningless: if they can't move, and I can't move, then isn't it meaningless? It's completely useless.
If the enemy was a pure computer AI, this miracle would probably be meaningless - the computer AI's reaction speed would definitely be faster than Ren Suo's brain.
But the Moon Goddess and their companions behaved just like real people, so this miracle was useful.
People are suddenly stopped, and the action they are doing is interrupted. Even if they don't fall because of the imbalance of their bodies, their brains will go from a simple reaction to a thinking state: What kind of miracle is this for me? What should I do next? Who is she?
However, Luna, who performed the miracle, could choose when to cancel it. Therefore, the miracle was not in the control process, but in the aftermath of the control—Luna had at least 0.2 seconds to make her move in advance!
Ren Suo seized upon this confused state, interrupted their actions, and immediately performed the miracle, allowing Luna to snatch the Silver Moon Crystal before they could react!
"Luna obtained the 'Silver Moon Crystal - Eater'."
"Silver Moon Crystal·Gourmet: With this Silver Moon Crystal, the effect of any buff food you make will be increased by 50%, the power of all supernatural abilities will be increased by 5%, and the power of moon-related supernatural abilities will be increased by an additional 25%."
"The current number of Silver Moon Crystals is: 1/25."
The effect of this Silver Moon Crystal... is a bit subtle.
However, the food eaten in dreams seems to bring attribute gains, so it is somewhat useful... but you need to make it yourself? Did Luna choose the cooking skill?
After getting the Silver Moon Crystal, Luna once again performed a miracle to freeze everyone, and then teleported away after three seconds!
But Rensuo overestimated Luna and underestimated the girl in the yukata.
Luna's miracle has been updated, and so has the girl in the yukata! She just pointed at Luna from a distance, and then Luna just stopped in the air!
Battle record: "Luna is trapped in solid air!"
Ren Suo raised his eyebrows - although the "Magician's Feather of Immortality from Standing Still" looked like teleportation, it was actually high-speed movement. Now that the air had turned into an air wall to block it, this teleportation item could no longer take effect.
However, the girl in the yukata also sat on the ground in extreme pain, covering her mouth and pointing at Luna, her eyes rolled up.
Ren Suo's mind raced, and he estimated that the price of this miracle was not small. Miracles and prices are not necessarily equal. For example, before, the white woman only needed to bleat to turn others into sheep, and now the yukata girl only solidified the air, but it looked like she was about to die.
The man in golden armor didn't hesitate at all. He rushed over and cut off Luna's hand holding the Silver Moon Crystal with a sword. However, due to the solidified air, the hand did not fall off.
However, at this moment, the girl in the yukata fainted, and Luna's hand fell down, about to be snatched away by the golden-armored warrior——
call out!
Ren Suo was stunned for a moment, and saw Luna shoot a beam of light at the golden-armored warrior, which directly pierced through the golden-armored warrior's outstretched hand, and then Luna quickly picked up the severed hand.
But the problem is... Ren Suo didn't do anything.
Shooting the beam at the golden-armored warrior and taking back the severed hand were all Luna's actions alone!
“This is my stuff.”
Luna raised her head, stared at the golden-armored warrior, and said calmly: "I was born with nothing, I will never allow you to take away what I have!"
Ren Suo blinked as he watched.
He thought that custom characters shouldn't have much personality... He didn't expect that Luna usually didn't talk, but would suddenly explode at a moment like this.
It was like she knew that she was created out of nothing, so her desires were very strong - she already had nothing, so what she had must not be taken away from her!
If someone steals her things, she will break free from the player's control and fight back with the most direct violence!
"He's quite a character..." Ren Suo muttered, but he didn't care - at least it saved him some effort.
Luna continued to run away, but because she was seriously injured, she was basically unable to fight back and could only avoid the warriors' pursuit.
After she left the park, she began to climb walls and try to use the residential buildings to get rid of the warriors.
！
Gunshots rang out from behind, and then Ren Suo saw several blood flowers coming out of Luna's body. Luna completely lost control and fell straight down. The scene quickly fell into darkness, and in the end Ren Suo only saw Luna seemed to fall into a hot spring with steam rising...
"Luna was knocked unconscious."
"Luna lost the 'Silver Moon Crystal·Gourmet'."
"The current number of Silver Moon Crystals is: 0/25."
When the darkness gradually cleared, a familiar white ceiling came into view.
When the image changed from blurry to clear, Luna saw the familiar NPC doctor sitting beside the bed. She immediately sat up, pressed the doctor's shoulder, and asked nervously, "Where is my Silver Moon Crystal!?"
The young nurse behind the doctor was startled and asked in a trembling voice, "What do you want to do?"
But the doctor wasn't nervous at all. He tilted his head, looked at Luna and asked, "What is the Silver Moon Crystal? I don't know."
"You were thrown in front of the clinic again, and it was the nurse who changed your clothes... Nurse, did you find anything when you were helping her change her clothes?"
The nurse shook her head and pushed away Luna's hand on the doctor's shoulder.
Luna seemed to calm down as well, thinking: (Yes, I was shot while running away, and then landed in a place that looked like a hot spring, far away from the clinic... It seems that someone followed me again, took my Silver Moon Crystal, and then dropped me off in front of the clinic...)
(If I find out who did it...)
Ren Suo suddenly felt that although Luna might not be the strongest character in the game in terms of strength, she definitely had the worst temper. Ren Suo had no doubt that when she saw her treasure-stealing enemy, she would probably break free from his control as the controller man and rush forward to let the other party feel the anger of the proletariat.
However, after Luna fell into the hot spring, who rescued her and took away her Silver Moon Crystal...
……
"Wake up! We have early classes today!"
Lin Xianyu turned over and pulled the quilt over her head. Gu Yueyan had expected this and climbed onto the bed and directly lifted her quilt, saying unhappily, "Get up! If you're late again and get marked, your grades will definitely be zero!"
“Oh, oh, oh…” Lin Xianyu, who was shivering from the morning cold, curled up and hugged herself: “I’m freezing…”
"That's what December is like. Come down and brush your teeth and wash your face, or I won't wait for you to go to the cafeteria to eat breakfast by yourself."
“Woo…” Lin Xianyu sniffed, pouted and slowly stood up. As he climbed down, he sang in a sad voice: “The first thing I say when I wake up every day is, I’m freezing…”
"Every time I got one centimeter away from the bed, it felt like I only had one breath left..."
"Look at me, quilt, where is my heater..."
"Fuck, fuck, where is the heating in the school..."
Gu Yueyan ignored her and took this opportunity to memorize more words. Although they were extraordinary college students and had no academic requirements, Gu Yueyan still signed up for the Level 6 exam. It would be a waste if she didn't take the exam.
After Lin Xianyu finished brushing her teeth, washing her face and combing her hair, she came out and hugged Gu Yueyan and said, "Squad leader, let's invite Xiao Xingxing and the others to eat hot pot and soak in the hot springs! Speaking of winter, we must do these things!"
"Eating hotpot is okay, and soaking in hot springs... wait until you're over your final exams." Gu Yueyan curled his lips, turned off Baicizhan and walked out.
“Then we have to wait another month!” Lin Xianyu wailed, “I will definitely dream about taking a hot spring bath.”
"Then you dream."
